since DBM does not happen to be a set of "what if" but as a tournament it does not really advance.
the advantages are from the point of time so it has a good drawing, being an online media does not have to be censored and the cast are the same characters that had already developed itAnimeNation101 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:28 amI’m not grading the DBMultiverse series. I’m grading how it executed the “Multiverse Tournament” concept. The specials aren’t apart of the Tournament. But i understand ur other points.wolflonnie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:44 am I disagree.
Multiverse, while overall good, has an horrid, horrid pacing due to the unnecessary and sort-of-mandatory specials, and a lot of uninteresting, boring stuff.
While I concede that the majority of "new" characters of Multiverse are better than the pack of nobodies of the ToP, ToP still wins due to better pacing, more interesting scenarios, better fights.
I just can't remember many memorable fights in Multiverse (except Vegetto vs Broly?), while ToP had so many strategic, well written ones I often find myself re-watching those specific fights on YouTube.
Also Multiverse tend to give too much screentime to some specific guys (Vegetto, Bra), sometimes even really uninteresting ones (Videl), while Goku & co. are almost thirtiary characters.
People don't give enough credits to the ToP, but it was amazing excluding something here and there. Can't say the same about Multiverse.
But honestly I don't think it's fair to compare the twos: Multiverse is written by a single guy if I'm not mistaken, while ToP by a moltitude of professionals.
Its funny, your last point. People keep telling me its unfair that DBM had 10 years of time for its story while T.o.P had way less. But you’re saying DBM is written by 1 or 2 guys and the T.o.P was written by multiple professionals which is also a good point. Nevertheless, most of the time, comparing anything to anything will always have a level of unfairness.
not really from the script term
The point of the multiverse in the TOP was to meet different characters with new skills, battles and interactions for example namekians with namekians, frieza-frost, saiyans u6 -saiyans u7 etc.
Teamwork, sacrifices and saves and even strategy was the point of having 80 fighters gathered is the important thing.
in multiverse it is more about knowing the multiverse while the tournament goes into the background so there can be interructions or villains out there however the years pass and the tournament advances little
and what we know of the multiverse are just variations
so I would say that it does not achieve a better concept I only achieve a medium that could be better used but it does not.
The majority of negative opinions I have heard is that it is not the story of the villain on the turn to whom part of the public get used to despite the fact that the original DB did not do that at all timesKanassa wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 3:02 amI think the general consensus is that it wasn't bad, but it wasn't what it could have been and is dragged down by some bullshit.HeroR wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:51 amWhere do you get it's a hated arc? There are people who loves it, despite its issues. People debate if this arc or the Future Trunks Saga that was the best from Super. And those arcs are considered some of the best within Dragon Ball in general in some circles.
Overall, I never got the sense the fanbase hated the TOP outside a vocal minority.
